Team Development Team Building Excursion Learning^™ Facilitation

While leaders envision seamless teamwork, many teams experience distrust, conflict and frustration. Inadvertently, some leaders encourage competition instead of cooperation. Team initiatives flounder when one of more team members take credit for the work, fail to follow-through, get distracted and/or waste time. Innolect helps overcome barriers and implement strategies to move teams to high-performance.

Innolect Approach - Customized, Collaborative Designs

Link the future to the past and learn from the past. We believe that what has been done in the past must be affirmed and honored before people are willing to commit to a desired, unknown future. We use a specific process to help people see that future possibilities are extensions of past achievements, and that we must not deny or devalue what we have learned. Where we can go is always connected to where we have been.
Keep group in charge of its work and its decisions. It is most important that participants in this process "own" the experience. We use processes and activities that engage participants to influence what and how work gets done. Our role involves co-creating and facilitating a strategic thinking and decision-making process that leads to the outcomes team members choose and commit to achieve.

Some describe what is was like “back in the day” and believe others need to pay their dues. Others talk about doing things the way they’ve always been done rather than experimenting with new ideas. With multi-generational employees working side-by-side to achieve common goals, inclusive leaders help team members learn from each other.

What Can Aspen Teach Us About Collaboration?

By Kittie Watson | March 22, 2019

Did you know that aspen trees in Trembling Giant grove in Utah are the oldest living organism in the world—over 80,000 years old? You might ask, “how is that possible?” Our answer is twofold: Collaboration and Support.

Collaboration, Encouragement and Barn-raising

By Kittie Watson | October 16, 2018

The Cajun Navy, an informal network of good Samaritans with small watercraft, mobilized once again in the last few weeks—this time to help the victims of Hurricanes Florence and Michael. Formed as a response to Katrina in 2005, the so-called Cajun Navy has saved thousands of stranded people and lives. Their emergent activity, now an integral component of hurricane disaster relief, has similar characteristics to what many Amish families experience with barn-raising when disaster strikes in their communities.
